 The Current Case for Iraq' Monetary Reform, RI/RV, Challenges, Requirements and its Ultimate Success Now. (1 OF 4)

Critics of an Iraq and Kuwait currency reinstatement comparison, have long pointed to the immutable fact that Kuwait was a State of the Art modern Democratic Monarchy, before it was ravaged by war, unlike Iraq which was an Archaic Dictatorship before and after its wars; so the argument goes, “you can't compare the two”.

However, that argument is not altogether conclusive proof that Iraq can't revalue anytime soon; especially now due to its current Parliamentary Democracy and stabilizing political reality, which has relatively improved, and most opinions to the contrary are highly subjective. 

Keep in mind although Iraq was an Archaic Dictatorship and was in great need of Monetary and State of the Art Economic Reforms before it started invading its neighbors, in particular Kuwait in 1990; Iraq factually had one of the highest valued currencies in the world (1 iqd to $3.21 usd) and was exchangeable here in the US! Therefore, any subsequent REQUIREMENTS to RI/RV Iraq’s currency internationally, are rooted in PRIMARILY SUBJECTIVE DETERMINANTS of the PTB (Powers That Be = Politics) and not Numbers and History. 

Furthermore, check out these much published but little considered facts regarding the circumstances in Kuwait when Kuwait Central Bank revalued its currency and was reinstated. 

We all know about Kuwait's limited public utilities days after the 1991 war; like little running water and very few lights in the country, when on March 25th, 1991 the NY Times reported Kuwait had revalued its currency by candlelight, back to the highest in the world. However, most of us have not researched the other political, societal, and economical circumstances surrounding Kuwait's revaluation and reinstatement. 

1. Did you know, the Kuwaiti Crown Prince 2nd in Charge of the Government, along with the Government's 22 cabinet ministers did not arrive back in Kuwait until March 5th a mere 20 days before they Revalued their Currency?  

2. Did you know, the Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Jabah the number 1 ruler, did not return to Kuwait after 8 months of sheltering in Saudi Arabia until March 15th, 1991 a mere 10 days before the revaluation of their currency? 

3. Did you know that a vast amount of the Kuwaiti Government workers and administrators of the Kuwaiti Government agencies before the invasion were from Pakistan, Jordan, and other countries in the middle east and they NEVER Returned after the liberation of Kuwait. Talking about instability!

4. Did you know that a large number of the Kuwaiti surviving population were street protesting in March 1991 for a FULL DEMOCRACY, in other words, let's overthrow the ruling family who ran to safety and left us here to suffer? They felt abandoned by the ruling family and its Government for 8 months, consequently being subjugated by the invading Iraqis with unmentionable horrors? 

5. Did you know that 700 Kuwaiti Oil wells were still burning (during the RV) after being set on fire by the retreating Iraqi army and the last oil well was not extinguished until November 6, 1991?
